 Interfacing Stepper Motor with 8051Microcontroller




A stepper motor, also known as a step motor or stepping motor, is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. The motor's position can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any position sensor for feedback (an open-loop controller), as long as the motor is carefully sized to the application in respect to torque and speed.


Interfacing Stepper Motor with 8051 Microcontroller

We are using Port P0 of 8051 for connecting the stepper motor. HereULN2003 is used. This is basically a high voltage, high current Darlington transistor array. Each ULN2003 has seven NPN Darlington pairs. It can provide high voltage output with common-cathode clamp diodes for switching inductive loads.
Wave Drive Mode − In this mode, one coil is energized at a time. So all four coils are energized one after another. This mode produces less torque than the full-step drive mode.
The following table is showing the sequence of input states in different windings.



Full Drive Mode − In this mode, two coils are energized at the same time. This mode produces more torque. Here the power consumption is also high.
The following table is showing the sequence of input states in different windings.



The circuit diagram is like below: 

Source code: 
    For the wave drive mode-

#include<reg51.h>
#define stepper_motor P0
 
void msdelay(unsigned int time)  // Function for creating delay in milliseconds.
{
    unsigned i,j ;
    for(i=0;i<time;i++)    
    for(j=0;j<1275;j++);
}
 
void main()
{
	while (1) {
		stepper_motor = 0x08;
		msdelay(20);
		stepper_motor = 0x04;
		msdelay(20);
		stepper_motor = 0x02;
		msdelay(20);
		stepper_motor = 0x01;
		msdelay(20);
	}
}

Source code: 
    For the Full drive mode-
#include<reg51.h>
#define stepper_motor P0
 
void msdelay(unsigned int time)  // Function for creating delay in milliseconds.
{
    unsigned i,j ;
    for(i=0;i<time;i++)    
    for(j=0;j<1275;j++);
}
 
void main()
{
	while (1) {
		stepper_motor = 0x0C;
		msdelay(20);
		stepper_motor = 0x06;
		msdelay(20);
		stepper_motor = 0x03;
		msdelay(20);
		stepper_motor = 0x09;
		msdelay(20);
	}
}

Serial Interrupt Programming in 8051 Microcontroller Baud Rate calculation: To meet the standard baud rates generally crystal with 11.0592 MHz is used. As we know, 8051 divides crystal frequency by 12 to get a machine cycle frequency of 921.6 kHz. The internal UART block of 8051 divides this machine cycle frequency by 32, which gives the frequency of 28800 Hz which is used by UART. To achieve a baud rate of 9600, again 28800 Hz frequency should be divided by 3. This is achieved by using Timer1 in mode-2 (auto-reload mode) by putting 253 in TH1 (8-bit reg.) So 28800 Hz will get divided by 3 as the timer will overflow after every 3 cycles. we can achieve different baud rates by putting the division factor in the TH1 register. Division factor to achieve different baud rates Baud Rate TH1 (Hex) 9600 FD 4800 FA 2400 F4 1200 E8 SCON: Serial Control Register      Serial control register SCON is used to set serial communication operation modes.

Blinking 1 LED using 8051 This is the first project regarding 8051 and of course one of the simplest, blinking LEDs using 8051. The microcontroller used here is AT89S51 In the circuit, push-button switch S1, capacitor C3 and resistor R3 form the reset circuitry. When S1 is pressed, the voltage at the reset pin (pin9) goes high and this resets the chip. C1, C2, and X1 are related to the on-chip oscillator which produces the required clock frequency. P1.0 (pin1) is selected as the output pin. When P1.o goes high the transistor Q1 is forward biased and LED goes ON. When P1.0 goes low the transistor goes to cut off and the LED extinguishes. The transistor driver circuit for the LED can be avoided and the LED can be connected directly to the P1.0 pin with a series current limiting resistor(~1K).  The time for which P1.o goes high and low (the time period of the LED)  is determined by the program. The circuit diagram for blinking 1 LED is shown below. Program. START: CPL P1.0 ACALL WA
